Bio:
Salviati was founded in Venice in 1859 by the lawyer Antonio Salviati, who helped revive the declining glass art of Murano. The firm became internationally known for mosaics and mouth-blown glass and won prizes at the great exhibitions of the 19th century. In the 20th century Salviati continued with art glass and lighting and took part in the Venice Biennale from 1958 to 1972.
